The moths came to worship the being, referring to her as "The Radiance". ~ The Seer to The Knight on the Radiance's origins.Īt one point in the past, a Higher Being created a race of highly intelligent moths. Until all of Hallownest began to dream of that forgotten light. But the memories of that ancient light still lingered, hush whispers of faith. And so this kingdom was born from that betrayal. They forsook the light that spawned them. They were content to bask in that light and honoured it. Light similar to Essence, similar to that powerful blade, though much brighter still. The folk of my tribe were born from a light.
So while the Radiance may have been tragic, her tragedy no longer holds up. She uses her power to bring suffering to all, regardless of who they are.
Including those who have never wronged her or "forgotten her". However, as she uses her power to infect anyone she can. Interestingly, her Dreamnail dialogue has all letters written in capitals, similarly to infected creatures, showing she outright manipulates the thoughts of the peoples she infects.Īt the end of the day, the Radiance is nothing more than a heartless, envious monster. Along with this she claims she will not be forgotten. In her boss fight, her Dreamnail dialogue hints of an ancient enemy she claims to not fear. Despite the Pale King having disappeared, the Radiance decided to bring the infection tenfold to Hallownest, infecting most of the enemies and bosses the Knight encounters in the game. As the Hollow Knight grew old, its strength diminished and she used her power to seep the infection from out of its body. However, the Radiance was still wrathful and persistent, yet she still had her intelligence. The vessel would be known as the Hollow Knight. Due to how dangerous she was, the Pale King, another higher being, feared her to the point where he had to convince three people (named Dreamers) to seal a vessel born of void and the Pale King's light within the vessel. A powerful plague that would invade the dreams of a bug, the Infection would leave orange spots growing on her victims, as well as orange eyes. This made her extremely envious as she felt unloved.Ĭonsumed by grief that her people stopped worshipping her, she used her powers as a higher being to create the Infection.
Since the Pale King came along and gave the moths free will, the moths forgot the Radiance and worshiped the Pale King instead. She was connected to her creation the Moth tribe via dream essence. The Radiance is implied in the past to have once been the benevolent ruler of Hallownest. ~ Bardoon to The Knight on the creatures the Radiance infects. Union it may offer, but also a mind bereft of thought. Rejection of the Wyrm's attempt at order. For quiet retreat did I climb up here, away from spitting creatures.
